Scott 342B

Documentation on the Scott 342B is nearly nonexistent in the usual reference sources. What survives comes almost entirely from period advertising. A 1968 advertisement in HiFI/Stereo (January 1968) billed it as a "65-watt stereo" receiver and encouraged readers to "be ins… you don't have to settle for less than the best in stereo … Scott."

The 342B was advertised alongside Scott's established solid-state line, so it was almost certainly an FM/AM receiver with an integrated amplifier. That was the company's standard layout for the era. No service manual, schematic, or user guide has turned up in the Archive's research, and no independent review has been found. The 342B appears in no major test bench of the period. Its specific features - power output per channel, tuner sensitivity, control layout - remain unknown.

Model: 342B
Type: Solid-state stereo receiver (FM/AM, integrated amplifier)
Rated power: 65 watts total (likely 32.5 W/ch or similar, period advertising was often ambiguous)
